Bringing kayaks camping
My wife and I are thinking about purchasing kayaks to take camping as we are near water quite often. We have a short bed F-250 and a 27 ft tow behind trailer. My question to all of you who do this how...

OP, have you tried paddling kayaks in that size range (8'-10')? I bought an inflatable 9' kayak last year and it tracks poorly. A longer, 2-person kayak would be easier and more fun for the two of you to paddle IMO. With an inflatable, storage and transport are really easy.
Completely agree. Paddling speed is also affected by length. Longer is faster.
For portability, other than inflatables there are foldables like Feathercraft, Folbot, and others. These are as light as you can get for a kayak, and pack down reasonably small. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.
As alway if you can, try before you buy.
